The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Hey, Tangze, you're awake!" Seeing Tangze walking backwards through the door, being dragged by Toru Amuro's collar, Mao Lilan called him happily, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

"It's time for him to wake up." Toru Amuro said angrily, "There are no external injuries. I don't think he passed out at all. He simply fell asleep to this point."

As he spoke, his condemning gaze was fixed on Karasawa, and then he turned his head and glanced at Mihara Koko, who had his head lowered and remained silent.

In today's case, before the incident, it should be said that they had actually used information to identify the most likely perpetrator.

Shimoda Kohei and Sakai Ryuichi were closer to being killed than committing murder, and they were very tight-lipped about the case three years ago. It is worth pondering what role they played in the death of Minako Mochizuki - the facts It also proved that there was no deviation in their guess.

Nakamura Minori may not have played a particularly glorious role in the incident three years ago, but her performance was closer to that of a silent spectator than a perpetrator, without saying a word.

The murderer is undoubtedly more likely to appear among the two female teachers.

However, before the deceased officially appeared, he could not actually adopt any extreme investigative strategies. After the first deceased appeared, Karasawa's reminder hindered his direction of action, hoping to stop the murderous Koko Yonehara. , obviously still not enough.

Once again, the relevant details of the incident three years ago were confirmed through their mouths, and the reasons for Tangze's choice also surfaced.

When they encountered this group of people, the man named Sugiyama might have been killed.

The big mistake had been made. Realizing that he could not fundamentally save Yonehara Koko, Karasawa chose to simply let it go.

As long as he thought about Tang Ze's radical ideas in this regard, it was difficult for him not to worry about the direction of this child's growth.

However, this kind of flexibility that goes beyond procedural justice and a firm and stable moral principle are precisely the indispensable qualities for their profession.

I have a headache. I really have a headache. The more I think about it, the more it gets worse.

Pulling Karasawa, who was pretending to be harmless and well-behaved, into the room, the upset Toru Amuro shook his head and first showed what he had gained outside the door.

"Thin rope, or kite string. There is a broken rubber band at one end." Showing the things to everyone, Amuro Toru looked in the direction of Iwai Munehisa again, "This, Mr. Iwai, has checked several of them. Got a personal package?”

"Yeah." Hide Akai nodded. Just like Toru Amuro was holding Karasawa's back collar, he was also holding the hood of Conan's sweatshirt. He first pointed at the elementary school student in his hand, "This child , happened to be checking with Dr. Agasa in the direction of the entrance before and after the crime. They could prove that from the time Mr. Shimoda went upstairs to the time when the screams came, no one was seen coming downstairs after the incident. Therefore, the suspicion There are only three of you——"

As he spoke, he looked at the other three teachers from Aido Elementary School.

"Yes, except for Conan who ran to the door and those few elementary school students who were running in the corridor on the first floor, everyone else was in the living room on the first floor." Mao Lilan nodded and agreed with him.

"Yes. In the first case, since the scene of the first crime could not be determined, we could not find the exact murder weapon, but in the second case, something was missing from the scene."

"Yes, it was the murder weapon. The rope that killed Shimoda-sensei and caused strangulation marks on his neck was nowhere to be found." Conan obviously couldn't resist Akai Shuichi's strength, and could only jump a little twice to show his strength. Sense of presence, "Mr. Iwai and I checked among their luggage and found nothing similar."

When he said this, Akai Shuichi lowered his head and gave the child an incomprehensible look.

In fact, if Akai Shuichi hadn't insisted that the evidence collection of murder cases should be rigorous - especially in the presence of reporters, this naughty kid might have gotten into several people's rooms by relying on his small size, difficulty in detecting and strong maneuverability. Went here to help ourselves.

Although, in this scenario where extreme weather and murders occur at the same time, the police should not be so strict about the search issue. What will the press conference say about this issue?

What was it that gave him such strange self-confidence?

"Wait a moment." Suntons, whose lighter was confiscated, raised his hand and said in a tone that could not be called kind. "Let me confirm first, who are the two of you? This is a serious murder investigation after all. If If there are any errors or omissions in the process that are not logical enough, it will directly constitute slander against others. When the time comes, forget about my ruthless writing."

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Akai Shuichi, and he also glanced at Tang Ze on the side, with a hint of personal hatred in it.

Originally, as a journalist, he should have the right to speak in this kind of environment. Whenever he thought about this, he became particularly unwilling.

Akai Shu glanced at him, bit the lollipop stick in his mouth, and said nothing.

Toru Amuro turned around and very calmly took out a business card from his pocket.

Karasawa peeked at the calm expression on Toru Amuro's face with his peripheral vision, and somehow felt that he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

This was a chance for him to show off his identity in addition to reimbursing his expenses. The proud look on his face...

"My surname is Amuro, I am the manager of a detective agency. I am not well-known myself, but you may have heard of another employee of my agency - a high school detective who returned from the United States, 'Akechi Goro' .”

Subconsciously reaching out to take the gilded business card handed over by Toru Amuro, Sentoshi looked at the clearly printed title on it and was a little unable to recover.

"Then let's start with how the dead Sugiyama 'ringed' the doorbell." The smiling Toru Amuro, perhaps thinking that he could earn some money with him, finally let Tang go. Ze's collar, "Facts speak louder than words, go to the door and demonstrate directly."

"Kumail and Bourbon are creating and using murder cases..." Bermod, who was flipping through the magazine, stopped, switched his cell phone to the other side, and asked with a strange expression, "How did you come up with this?" This conclusion?"

Of course he saw it with his own eyes!

Tightening the brim of his hat, Ireland said angrily: "These two guys have big plans. I only share this information with you out of gratitude for the information you provided. Forget it if you don't appreciate it."

Thinking of what he saw at night, Ireland moved closer to the heater in the center of the tent, trying hard to get rid of all the chill in his body.

Did he just say, "Famous Detective" or something like that? Is it that easy to be a detective?

As far as he knew, Kumail, who was the second generation of the organization, was completely educated by the organization. He was a pure killer and lacked normal social education experience.

There are other skills such as firearms and fighting, but Ireland would only sneer at him as a detective with any reasoning qualities.

What kind of detective can a kid from a crooked organization be? They are not a charity education institution. Children who do not show special talents like Shirley will naturally become ordinary cannon fodder and consumables, and are not qualified to receive elite education.

Kumail was able to achieve such a resounding reputation in such a short period of time, and he didn't believe that there was nothing fishy going on.

And today, he witnessed with his own eyes how Kumel and Bourbon, the superior and subordinate pair, "solved" the murder case.

It was indeed an easy case to solve. After all, who else knew the details and truth of the murder better than the planner himself?

Ireland felt that he even had reason to suspect that Bourbon might secretly have some ideas of screening available talents for himself and hoarding personal power - he had heard that Bourbon was always playing alone because he was not completely trusted by Rum. It is difficult to take a step forward if you fight alone.

...What is that little lunatic doing again? Why does Ireland look so stupid?

Belmode shook his head and was speechless at the nonsense on the other end of the phone. He picked up the magazine again, turned to the next page, looked at the clothes on the page with critical eyes, and casually warned: "I I know your thoughts, your thoughts are written on your face, Ireland. From the perspective of colleagues who have worked with you before and may work with you in the future, I would like to remind you - Kumail, it is not you who can move. character of."

Narrowing his eyes, Ireland glanced at the call page on his phone but said nothing.

The silence on the other side was also not beyond Belmode's expectations.

When Kumail told her that his disguised identity may have been exposed to some people in the organization, and he suspected that someone was targeting him, Ireland's name jumped into her mind almost immediately.

Ireland, who also joined the organization when he was a teenager and was almost raised by Pisco and nurtured by himself, is an irrational and violent guy.

It was almost impossible for him not to be angry with others because of Pisco's death.

So she just used a plain tone to express her meaning clearly - this did not represent her personal emotions, but only represented the warning that the organization wanted to convey.

"What the organization wants to do cannot be covered by your lack of imagination. In the organization's planning, the vast majority of people, including code members, are just part of the workforce - we really need some middle-level leaders to Responsible for coordinating specific affairs and doing many things. But what we need is not a specific person."

At least, Ireland does not have this qualification yet.

Holding these unfinished words with a contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth, Belmode turned over another page of the magazine, and his fingertips painted with cordan traced the animal-like makeup on the face of the model on the page.

A beast painted outside human skin cannot cause the same damage as a beast inside human skin...

Her voice was calm and quiet, but it penetrated the biting cold wind blowing outside the tent and resounded in Ireland's mind.

"Kumail is different. At some point, if I have to make a choice, between me and him, the organization might not choose me.

"Bourbon hates him enough. Even many lower-level members have heard about the discord between the two of them. Since you learned about this yourself through some channel, you should have seen it. But Bourbon, dare to really Touch him?

"You are the new generation that many people are very optimistic about, Ireland. Don't insist on having your own way. In our place, the consequences of making mistakes...you are also clear enough."

After saying this, she hung up the phone, shook her head, and casually entered Kumail's email address.

Being targeted by a guy like Ireland will not affect Kumel in any way, but Ireland is indeed a hound-like guy. Once he has his sights set on his prey, he will bite and not let go.

What a problem.

Kumail is too close to Cool Guy and the others. Since they are already keeping an eye on him, it would be better to simply stop Ireland's eyes from focusing on others.

Slightly cruel thoughts were running through her mind, but she was typing at a very fast pace.

Soon, she put down her phone, straightened her yukata, and continued to read the magazine. She picked up the darts on the fruit plate and threw them forward.

There were many photos pinned to the target board in front of her. She casually took a dart and found Toru Amuro's warm face with a fake smile in the middle photo.

Moreover, she doesn't like the feeling of being blackmailed at all.

"what happened again?"

Noticing the expression on Karasawa who wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh out loud when he put down his phone, Toru Amuro asked distractedly.

"Belmod's email." After reading the entire content, Karasawa put away his phone with a suppressed smile, "It is indeed Ireland that is spying on us."

"What's so funny about this." Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows, "You've already said that the most likely candidate is indeed Ireland."

"Well, but..." Tang Ze raised his chin and gestured to everyone who was busy completing their logical reasoning, "We really haven't been able to see how the murderer committed the crime. The view is so good, overlooking the entire building in Ireland, it must be You can see it clearly..."

Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment. He briefly imagined what Ireland had witnessed today, and his face suddenly darkened.

It turned out that this was indeed a murder case that had nothing to do with them. Their only connection with the case was that the deceased and suspect in this case was the elementary school teacher of their traveler.

They all met and stayed together by chance. The only purpose of his trip, to get in touch with Belmode, had already been completed after the bus hijacking accident and while he was waiting for the transcript at the police station.

However, just when the murderer tried to use a third party to eliminate the suspicion for himself and lead to the incident of Minako Mochizuki, Karasawa chose to lie down and let go.

In Ireland's eyes, this completely accidental case suddenly changed its nature.

"Then who is to blame?" Amuro gritted his molar teeth, wanting to continue to lift Karasawa's collar and teach him a lesson, "What's more, if it weren't for your insistence, if it weren't for your presence, Ireland wouldn't be here at all. I won’t follow you.”

"It's too late to let go of the relationship now." Karasawa patted Toru Amuro's tense forearm and couldn't help laughing, "Anyway, in the eyes of Ireland, we have already created the murder ourselves and then solved it ourselves. That’s it. By the way, it’s possible to use innocent citizens to select excellent criminal talents.”

After enduring it again and again, Feng Ping was killed again. Toru Amuro couldn't hold it back again and slapped Tang Ze on the back.

Although there is a reputation for being cunning and unscrupulous in the organization, for Bourbon, a member of the organization, it does not seem to be a victim of criticism, and it can even be regarded as a compliment.

But he is not happy at all!

"Huh? What's wrong?" Mao Lilan turned around in confusion after noticing the movement of the two of them.

"Oh, let me pat the wall dust on his back." Toru Amuro said this, and called Karasawa twice more in his place, "Maybe he just rubbed it. He was really careless."

"Ding dong——"

The elongated electric bell arrived as expected, and Shuichi Akai opened the door, showing the snowboard bag that had been knocked down heavily on the bell.

…Don’t mention it, because of the carjacking case in the morning, when they opened the door and saw such a package lying in front of the door, everyone subconsciously took a step back.

A few teachers who didn't understand what others were quitting were highlighted by the people around them.

Looking blankly at the replayed scene in front of him, Sakai Ryuichi murmured: "So, when we were eating, Sugiyama's body was just placed in front of the door like this..."

You don’t need to imagine it carefully, you just need to imagine the scene a little bit...

Several people shuddered together.

"Coupled with the scratches on the doorpost, this should be enough to explain the murderer's method." Pulling the skateboard back into the door, Akai Shuichi closed the door again and looked at a few people, "I have explained the method of the first case clearly, here is Let’s talk about the missing murder weapon. Now, the suspects are the three teachers who were on the second floor at the time. You should all agree on this."

Exchanging somewhat bewildered looks, several people nodded anxiously.

Akai Shuichi's sharp temperament, which is quite difficult to offend, is not only not reduced in Iwai Sohisa's identity, but is even more amplified.

Originally, Karasawa would choose to give him the identity of Iwai Munehisa because of the overlap in temperament and behavior between the two people.

When he opened his mouth to take charge of the situation, even Sentoshi, who always talked a lot of nonsense, didn't dare to say more.

Toru Amuro frowned and was not satisfied with the situation. He took two steps forward and picked up the conversation again.

"From the time the body was discovered to now, you have been in the sight of others. Our search did not find the murder weapon, so the only possibility is that the murder weapon is still on you."

"This is impossible. You have also done a body search." Ryuichi Sakai shook his head, "None of us have anything like ropes on us."

"It doesn't need to be a specific rope, it just needs to be able to cause rope-like scars. Twisted strips of cloth, specific fabrics, and braided hair..." He showed that he had put it in With the hair in the evidence bag, Amuro Toru stared at the murderer clearly, "Am I right? Teacher Yonehara?"
